PDP condemned arbitrary taxes imposed by the Nasir Elrufai led APC govt



The world over, taxes are a major source of revenues for the government used in providing developmental projects, and Kaduna State cannot be an exception.
Which is why citizens have the right to challenge their government to be accountable and transparent in the provision of developmental infrastructures and services.

However, a humane government considers the economic realities of her citizens before such taxes and levies are charged on them.

In Kaduna State, workers are sacked without payment of their entitlements, farmers can no longer go to their farms and returned home safe because of kidnappings and killings by bandits, markets and business entities have been demolished without providing alternatives to owners of these businesses.

If all of these misnomer are the order of the day, how does the government expect the citizens to be able to afford to pay these taxes ?

In the near past, the Kaduna State Government had introduced similar taxes on owners of houses, borehole owners and even petty traders. Instead of the government to be more serious on its cardinal responsibility of maintaining law and order by decimating these criminal elements, they are over stretching and strangulating the socio-economic base of the citizens.

People's houses have been burnt down, they can't go to their farms, and most of them are in the IDPs without source of livelihood, they are being fed by good Samaritans from the members of the public.

How does the government intend to collect taxes/levies on people struggling to pay ransom for their loved ones that have been kidnapped ?

The Peoples' Democratic Party,PDP, is not in any way against government's policy on development levies and taxes, but the timing is wrong because the socio-economic base of the people is weak and fragile that it cannot be able to shoulder such additional burden.

Socio-economic development can never be achieved under these circumstances !

The party calls for a reversal of these arbitrary taxes imposed on the citizens of the State and encourages government to bring out policies and programmes that would turn around the economic fortunes of the people of the state that are expected to pay the taxes and levies.

The government should know that it is one thing to impose a tax, but a different thing to successfully collect the tax.

The midget rolled out a head tax. Whether you work or no work, as long as you are in El Midgeto state, you will have to pay Midgeto .


Meanwhile , his counterpart in Kogi placed a tax Levy or rather excise duty on bread production.


These idiots will soon restart the slave trade and will not waste time selling Nigerians into slavery to Bill Gates and his NWO.
